Costs of an Unhealthy Workplace

A manager at a busy office, clients coming in and out, phones ringing, and you look around, but everyone’s out. Your secretary came down with the flu, then passed it around the office and now you’re feeling a little feverish but there’s too much to do.

Employee absences, high group insurance rates, client productivity and income loss, and even employee turnover can occur from such illnesses. Most mid-to-large companies estimate literally billions of dollars lost in indirect illness-related costs; smaller companies lose less money but the impact can be even greater. Illness and general poor health also lead to more work-related injuries which likewise cost companies tremendously.

Stay Motivated to Attain Your Goals

No dream is too big to achieve. Knowing this you can embark upon a journey that will allow you to fulfill your dreams and heart’s deepest desires. Begin your day on a very positive note, thinking about the goals you want to accomplish. Say “I believe in myself and my dream,” when you get up in the morning to greet the day. Repeat this mantra as you go about doing your working during the day. Saying this again and again during the course of the day will keep you in a state of awareness towards your goal and remind you what steps have to be taken to convert your dream into reality. If you begin your day on such a positive note, the likelihood of being successful in your endeavors only magnifies.

Throughout the day, think about your goals and what you need to accomplish to achieve them. This focused energy and concentration will serve as a reminder to keep you motivated on the goals you set out to achieve. A diligent effort is required. It takes great effort to be successful in achieving great things in life. All successful people have one thing in common: they work very hard and are persistent in their efforts. There is no shortcut to success. It comes to those who are willing to toil hard irrespective of the challenges that they might face.
